Do You Want To Start A Small Business?
Whether you’re starting a small business or already running one, you can get free and confidential small business advice through Enterprise Facilitation
We provide business advice through an experienced business coach that will work with you in your community.
On Your Terms
When you work with us, we assist you as needed. Our business advisor we call a Enterprise Facilitator is just a call away, so call now! When you ask, the Enterprise Facilitator will come to you, in your community. We work with you at your own speed - no pressure.
Between work and your responsibilities at home, you need time to work on planning your business. We can work with you to build a solid foundation to build your business.
You Don't Have to Go It Alone
To provide you with the best small business advice possible, we have a volunteer Community Resource Board to provide practical advice and assistance when requested. The Community Resource Board is comprised of individuals from five counties in Central Oregon. These volunteers are business owners, development professionals and people who care about creating an entrepreneurial climate in rural Central Oregon communities.
Let us help you succeed – you don’t have to do it alone.
Let's Get Started
No one will be looking over your shoulder to see if you complete the next planning step. You go at your own pace. Along the way, you have our support and the support of the Community Resource Board. You do not have to go it alone. Greg is ready to help you when you're ready. Give me a call now.
